Laura Wesley Ballew was born to William and Sarah Craft Ballew on May 6, 1871 in Buchanan, Botetourt County, Virginia. She was the ninth of eleven children which were 6 boys and 5 girls. Her obituary reads as if she was born in Pilot Point, but it looks like they left Virginia right after she was born. They stopped for a bit in Missouri and then traveled on to settle in Pilot Point, Texas.

She married Otis “Oats” Henry Phinney, Sr and had 8 children. Two died in infancy.

She had been sick a long time with Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Her mother had eleven children and outlived six of them. Laura was one of them that died before her mother.
